[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8374073, member: 6779196"] You can arc a shot over them. Or like, between their legs or something. Obviously your target should have at least half cover from you though Oh, sure! Like I said, the rules are clear that the DM determines when it’s possible to hide, which includes whether or not you can remain hidden. If you rule that you stop being hidden if you make an attack, that’s consistent with the RAW, even if it isn’t how I would rule. It would also be consistent with RAW to rule that you can’t become hidden in the first place if your opponent knows your location. I was just saying if you [I]do[/I] allow them to hide (and to remain hidden), nothing in the rules suggests they shouldn’t gain the benefits of being hidden. Though I maintain that the lightfoot halfling’s naturally stealthy and the Skulker feat make it clear that RAI is for you to be able to get advantage when hidden in such a way, to say nothing of the rogue’s expected damage output.
